16 years old, and after I had finished my GCSEs, I watched ‘Amelie’ with my parents, and it was bright, bold, and ecstatic, optimism in the 21st Century.
‘Me and Earl and the Dying Girl’ is a strange beast, not least because it seemed to be written for and about me, a 17 year old redhead filmmaker who lacked the care or decision to choose to go to university, despite the advice of so many friends and family.

T2 Trainspotting was not made for my generation, but something about its criticism of nostalgia, and addiction, and attempting to recreate the past really clicked with me in my first year of adulthood. Plus the soundtrack is amazing.
